That's Real Niggerish!

My dear dear friend Wyatt emailed me this MySpace page this morning. I think I'll just post his entire email as I couldn't have said it better myself. When will our people rise up and overcome? OH, and if you are NOT BLACK but you happen to know me, DO NOT THINK FOR ONE MINUTE THAT YOU CAN GO AROUND USING THE N WORD IN MY PRESENCE OR ON MY BLOG. Sorry, but in the day and age of Chapelle's Show you gotta remind some fools. (I've included my own commentary in RED).

"This was a myspace bulletin a real person sent me (I don't actually know this person, but they're one of my 'friends').

It's a poem-ish thing about being a 'Real Nigga' and doing things a Real Nigga would do but it's all things a gentleman would do. And that's funny to me because I guess this guy is so ignorant than rather be a Black man he would rather be a nigga, but wants to make the distinction that he's a sweet nigga.

And I included the only Nikki Giovanni poem I know to compare his poetry to that of an established poet, who also has an opinion on niggers/niggas."

Most likely the realest nigga you'll eva meet . . .

by Some Nigga (OK, I totally added this)

1. A real nigga doesn't kiss and tell.
2. A real nigga notices your hair and nails. I don't want anyone noticing my hair today. I ran out of conditioner.
3. A real nigga call you beautiful . . . not hot, sexy, or fine. I dunno. I likes to be called fine and be reminded how thick I am.
4. A real nigga calls you on a daily basis no matter how busy or tired he is.
5. A real nigga looks past what he's heard about you or what his friends think of you.
6. A real nigga wants to spend as much time as he can with you, and won't get sick of you. That's just unrealistic. I get tired of niggas, so I'm sure they tire of me.
7. A real nigga doesn't care if you gave it up on the first, second or third night. Who's counting anyway? You gotta let a ho be a ho, HO!
8. A real nigga comes over, just to watch a movie. Hopefully it's not Beauty Shop. That movie was garbage.
9. A real nigga kissed you on the forehead just because. But it ain't so sweet if you get cut up by his iced out grill!
10. A real nigga doesn't tell you what he thinks you want to hear, he tells you what's real. Fuck that! Lie to me, dammit!
11. A real nigga should be treated like one. OK, how exactly is that?

Ladies - If you want a real nigga then rpost this as "I WANT A REAL NIGGA." Guys - If you a real nigga repost this as "I'M A REAL NIGGA." And anyone who does this is a real fool!
